I have been reading some of your fics (I have The Contract saved to my PDA to read in bed) and this one really touched me. I suffer from chronic pain similar to House's and because I am only 25 years old and have been on narcotics since I was 15, I am always treated like an addict. I suffer in pain like House does because my pain Dr. has kept me on a low dose of Morphine for the past 5 years and it is no longer working to help the pain. I admit to doing what House does, taking what I need to take to get through some days. It ** me off seeing House treated like he is treated on the show. I threw things at the TV when the whole Tritter thing was going on.
Good job. :)

jesus, that was intense... good job

... Angst! Except real angst. Of the kind that is actually reasonable. Hm.

House could never be normal. Even when attempting to be normal, he could never be normal. In fact, that's the case with most people. Faking normalacy because they don't want anyone to know how not normal they really are. So in that light, House would be like everyone else. Not normal, in their attempt to be.
...
And that is precisly why I shouldn't watch House for long periods of time. I start to think weird ^_^

Oh, House...!

I love him even more now. That was really sad. Curse you for being so commanding with language!

T_T

The last sentence was amazing, it really hit home.
Pure angst - gotta love it.

This is really interesting and unusual - I like it a lot.

Yeah...it's weird and creepy alright...

I want to say good story...and the "better normal person" line is funny, in that slightly sideways "I really shouldn't be laughing because this is seriously not funny...but I can't seem to help myself either..." sorta way.

Enjoyable to read...but, as you said...definitely weird and creepy.

cool. it says how screwed up our society is. have you ever gone to a shrink? i sent one to an insane aslylum once. i just stared at him until he finally snapped. it was fun.

Again you are here with the intersting pieces of writing. Makes me think and that's great. Good job, must keep reading yoru work.

Oh, wow, that's so unfair! *cries* Poor House! I think the title is quite accurate.

woah... i never imagined house.. like this. Your story was absolutly amazing. I feel so awful now. Bloody cop. I really hope rehab doest do this to him.. i really really hope!
thanks for the great story!

This is beautiful...creepingly beautiful...
the way you described the scared mind of a broken House...it was painfully moving and effective.
Ans even if this is perfect the way it is, I'd love to read some sort of sequel/different POV of this.
Anycase,I sincerely hope you'll keep on writing House!

God. This was . . . disturbing.

I loved it. Needs a new title though.

Wow...so hard to imagine his losing, yet you show us a very realistic of the consequences. He'd be a hollow man, a mere shadow of his former greatnes. Great job!
